It's
awards season - well, at least it is at Niagara University.

Two
weeks ago, Niagara's "What's On Your Mind?" advertising
campaign earned a silver medal in a national competition of college
and university marketing materials. On Tuesday, the university was
named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor
Roll, making it the only Western New York institution to have made
the list every year since 2006.

And
now, Niagara University has been lauded by the Higher Education
Marketing Report for the outstanding quality of its undergraduate
marketing materials. HEMR awarded NU and its creative partner, TWG
Plus, a silver medal in the Total Recruitment Package category for
schools with 2,000‐4,999 students.

"There
are so many characteristics that differentiate Niagara from other
institutions, from our picturesque campus to the outstanding success
of our students and alumni," said Tom Burns, associate vice
president for public relations, communications and marketing. "We
are confident that if we can entice a prospective student to simply
browse our materials and schedule a visit, they'll be impressed
with the very high quality of our campus, faculty and programs."

This
was the 28th annual presentation of the Educational
Advertising Awards, sponsored by Higher Education Marketing Report.
According to its website, the Educational Advertising Awards is the
largest educational advertising awards competition in the country.
This year, close to 3,000 entries were received from more than 1,000
colleges, universities and secondary schools from all 50 states and
several foreign countries.

A
total of 425 gold and silver certificates were awarded.

Judges
for the Educational Advertising Awards consisted of national panel of
higher education marketers, advertising creative directors, marketing
and advertising professionals and the editorial board of Higher
Education Marketing Report.

The
Higher Education Marketing Report, a monthly publication, is also in
its 28th year, and is read by thousands of higher
education marketers at colleges and universities throughout the
country.
